Effects of Naturally Occurring Mutations in Bovine Leukemia Virus 5′-LTR and Tax Gene on Viral Transcriptional Activity

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus infecting bovine B cells and causing enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL). The long terminal repeat (LTR) plays an indispensable role in viral gene expression. The BLV Tax protein acts as the main transactivator

Establishment and Characterization of Human Cell Lines Stably Infected With Bovine Leukemia Virus In Vitro Reveals Apoptosis After Latency and Silencing

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the etiological agent of B‐cell leukemia/lymphoma in cattle worldwide. Although previous studies have linked BLV to breast cancer in women, its zoonotic potential remains controversial. Moreover, no previous studies have clearly investigated the BLV latency in human cells.

HIGHLIGHTS ON DISTINCTIVE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HTLV TAX PROTEINS.

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Human T-cell Leukemia Viruses (HTLVs) are complex human retroviruses of the Deltaretrovirus genus. Four types have been identified thus far, with HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 much more prevalent than HTLV-3 or -4 .

Circulating Cell‐Free DNA of Bovine Leukemia Virus: A Promising Biomarker for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, Volume 69, Issue 9, Page 466-476, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) in approximately 1%–5% of infected cattle after a long latent period. Few biomarkers effectively distinguish non‐EBL from EBL cattle. Given the rapid turnover of tumor cells, we hypothesized that cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma could serve as a more effective biomarker for EBL ...

Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with leukosis in cattle from Villlavicencio, Colombia

open access: yes, 2023
Bovine leukosis is caused by an oncogenic virus of the genus Deltaretrovirus, causing losses associated with decreased production indicators and restrictions on exports of cattle and cattle products.

Computational analysis of envelope glycoproteins from diverse geographical isolates of bovine leukemia virus identifies highly conserved peptide motifs

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2018
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus infecting bovine B cells and causing enzootic bovine leucosis. The SU or surface subunit, gp51, of its envelope glycoprotein is involved in receptor recognition and virion attachment.

Bovine leukemia virus tax gene/Tax protein polymorphism and its relation to Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

open access: yesVirulence, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus of the Deltaretrovirus genus, which causes persistent infection in its natural hosts – cattle, zebu, and water buffalo with diverse clinical manifestations through the defeat of B-cells.
